Looks like it could be aphids. Take some masking or duct tape. Make a little roll around your finger. Stick them on their little eggs to remove them. Rinse and repeat

It looks like oedema to me. At this point it strictly cosmetic maybe let your peppers rest a little bit more between waterings and the problem should clear itself up.
The leaves that have the bumps on them will remain bumpy, but future leaves will be grown without them. It’s not indicative of any kind of infestation or fungus or disease. Happens to my peppers, all the time, especially when they are indoors waiting to be transplanted.

Edema, water less. Peppers definitely like to dry out in between waterings

Yup it’s edema. Roots are taking on more water than the leaves can transpire. It’ll sometimes even look crystaly when it gets really bad. Overwatering or poor airflow are the usual causes,high humidity mixed with low temps can trigger it too.
